Why do I end the game with 52 militia and 47 regular infantry in my recruiting box still waiting but never coming into the game.
Are they missing elements, or simply damaged? Are the units missing elements the right type to receive the replacements you have?
Either way, I think you have more success the more excess supply you have (and the really annoying thing is that empty supply wagons seem to soak up supply before replacements are allocated, so it can often be better to move them out for a few turns).
I've always been baffled by this no matter how many times I look at the manual or posts on the forum.
Is it typical to have a very large number of recruits who never come into the game.
Usually, particularly if you're winning! Play the French in the 1755 Campaign, though, and you'll find regulars are a bit of a problem
